Abstract

Custard apples have been part of human diet for ages due to its nutritional and medicinal values. But consumption of these fruits generates peel wastes that could bring about environmental pollution if not properly managed. Towards recycling of wastes and avoiding littering and waste-related environmental degradation, this study was carried out to explore the sugar components of custard apple peels with a view to establishing their raw material potentials. Selected samples are cut into small bits, dried, powdered and were subjected to sensitive extraction procedure developed using the mixture Methanol –Dichloromethane - Water (MDW) (0.3:4:1v/v) and MeOH-H2O phase was assayed for sugar analysis. The extracted sugars were put through chemical characterization procedures for purposes of separation and identifying its components. The various standard sugars were spotted using the solvent system n-butanol - acetone - diethylamine - water (10:10:2:6, v/v) in the cellulose layer for TLC analysis indicated the presence of lactose, sucrose, galactose and glucose
